Danny Sandoval (born April 7, 1979 in Lara State, Venezuela) is an infielder in Major League Baseball who plays with the Philadelphia Phillies organization. Sandoval is a switch-hitter and throws right handed. He made his major league debut on July 17, 2005.

After spending seven seasons in the minors with the White Sox and Rockies organizations, Sandoval signed with the Philadelphia Phillies during the off-season. He started 2005 at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Red Barons and got the call to replace Geoff Geary after the All-Star Game. At time of the call, Sandoval ranked second in the International League with a .349 batting average, and was hitting .423 (55-for-130) with 11 doubles, three home runs, 16 RBI and 23 runs in his last 31 games. Along with Bobby Abreu, Ugueth Urbina, Tomás Pérez and Endy Chávez, he became the fifth Venezuelan player on the Phillies roster.

Sandoval appeared in three games with the Phillies and went 0-for-2 with a run scored. On July 23, he was optioned back to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in order to bring up a right-handed reliever.

The fact that Sandoval can play a number of infield positions is a definite plus. He could easily be fighting for a spot on the Phillies roster in the 2006 spring training.
